Chasing Magic is a real-world account of a veteran sailing team competing at a high level and discovering something far more important than results. Through the intensity of racing, changing conditions, and constant pressure to perform, the crew is forced to rely on each other in ways that rebuild trust, purpose, and connection.

The Valhalla Sailing Project brings veterans into a competitive sailing environment where teamwork is not optional and accountability is immediate. On the water, there is no hiding. Every decision matters, every role has weight, and every person contributes to the outcome. What begins as a race becomes a process of rebuilding-mentally, physically, and socially.

This book shows how that process works in real time. It is not theory. It is lived experience. The setbacks, the learning curve, the small wins, and the moments when everything comes together are all part of the story.

At the same time, Chasing Magic captures the energy and enjoyment of sailing at a high level. The competition is real, the environment is demanding, and the experience is fun in a way that is difficult to replicate anywhere else. That balance-challenge, purpose, and enjoyment-is what makes the model effective.

For veterans looking for direction, for sailors who understand the pull of competition, and for anyone interested in how shared effort builds resilience, this is a clear look at why it works and why it matters.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
